    Very nice, Great colour scheme!
    It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them.

    Love the Ridley cross bikes!

    Looks a bit weird with it being so clean and shiny. Would look much better covered in mud :wink:

    How did I miss this? This is simply the best paint-job ever on a Ridley cross bike. Looks smashing in black with white accents on the X-Night too.

    This bike is perfect, carbon low-pro clinchers will accelearate out of corners like a scalded Jack Russel. All you need to do is pluck up the courage to cut the steerer :-)

    In terms of asthetics a Force BB30 crank would look a lot better than the FSA which looks dater, but besides that please call me if you ever want to sell it?

    Andy, what's your BB to saddle top measurement on that gorgeous beast of yours?

    I'm looking for a new CX frame and on Ridley's site they suggest I ride a 54 which is surprising to me given the TT is super short at 54.5 and my roady side would prefer the 56cm TT of the 56 framesize.

    For reference my height is 182, my inseam is 89, and my current BB to saddle top is 79-79.5 cms. Thanks for sharing your numbers.
